ANTHONY JOSHUA takes on Kubrat Pulev on Saturday night – and SunSport readers are adamant our home hero will come out on top.
The British star, 31, defends his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO belts on against the Bulgarian brawler at Wembley Arena.
SunSport readers are heavily backing Joshua to beat Pulev on Saturday
SUNSPORT’S JOSHUA vs PULEV POLL: RESULTS
Joshua win – KO/TKO = 66.8%
Joshua win – Points = 13.5%
Draw = 0.8%
Pulev win – KO/TKO = 16.3%
Pulev win – Points = 2.6%
And SunSport readers are certain Joshua will prevail and set up an all-British heavyweight unification bout with WBC champion Tyson Fury.
We asked you who you thought would win and how ahead of Saturday’s monster showdown.
And a staggering 80.3 per cent of readers are predicting a win for Joshua.
Incredibly, over two-thirds of fans (66.8 per cent) reckon the British star will win via KO or TKO.
Just 18.9 per cent of fans are tipping Pulev, 39, for a shock win, with a total of 16.3 per cent believing the Bulgarian will win via KO or TKO.
A tiny 0.8 per cent of readers are backing a draw in North London.
Joshua is the heavy favourite to win, as he was in June 2019 when he suffered a surprise loss at the hands of Andy Ruiz Jr.
AJ recovered to convincingly win the rematch in Saudi Arabia last December to regain his belts.
And Joshua will hope IBF mandatory challenger Pulev will be a minor inconvenience on the road to taking on fellow Brit Fury in 2021.
Incredibly, the all-British heavyweight showdown is set to become the fifth-richest fight in boxing history.
It is expected that the unification battle would rake in as much as £150million, taking into account the purse, pay-per-view purchases, gate receipts and sponsors.
That figure would make it be the most lucrative fight EVER to not feature Floyd Mayweather.
